what governor brown is saying. with a budget surplus. >> yes, with years of budget cutbacks we have a rebounding economy and proposition 30. there is going to be more money in the coffers but this proposal could provide significant changes on fund distribution. k-12 education will increase by two. $7,000,000,000.1820088854 by the year 2017. not only with services, programs but additional teachers and staff. they also want more local control to get away with the dedicated funds for certain issues and let local school districts decide how they want their money spent. when the most controversial is funding would not be evenly distributed. over

time, districts with lower income and those in need of learning in, of learning english would need more money and this is the right thing to do. >> 40% of the students are poor. and 20% to not speak english as their first language that is a challenge. so, that means that our future depends not just on finding evenly but a disproportionate funding when the a disproportionate challenges. >> as for higher education the university of california will also see some increased funding. still, not as much as both institutions have wanted. >> catherine: they have also talked about fiscal belt- tightening? >> that always seems to be the excuse with raising tuition but something that is enough for them. in this

government proposal is that these institutions would even get more money if they get ways of more revenue producing techniques. and students can get in, get out and get the class is quicker. >> >>this just in to the kron 4 news room and there is new information about the current county school shooting. there is one student was critically injured. how we've been monitoring this on the press conference and it is official. that 16 year-old did not act impulsively. >> this started for him last night. he went to bed last night in his mind he knew what was going to do. >> reporter: this is the second day of the meetings with anti-gun task force. this school shooting was the same day and it is worth noting. a teacher was hit

but total universal background checks including private sales. >> reporter: something colorado's governor supports. >> why don't we have universal background checks all gun sales? >> reporter: the national rifle association is meeting with the taskforce today. and while the group opposes tougher gun control laws, it wants more armed guards in schools. in virginia which saw the deadliest school shooting in the nation's history - a new quinnipiac university poll shows. 66% of voters say they support the idea of placing an armed police officer in every school, 29 percent opposed the idea. but at the federal level, the majority of virginia voters support a national ban on assault weapons by a margin of 58% to 39%. the u.s. had such a ban from 1994 until it expired in 2004. with just days to go until the recommendations are presented to the president, biden says coming up with solutions to this national problem isn't easy. >> we realize this requires

the japanese, we run a much higher risk of homicide or a fatal traffic accident. and while our life spans have increased over the past decades, they've increased faster in other countries. 35 years ago we were in the middle of the average range. now we are last. there are a few bright spots cancer deaths are lower here. once americans reached the age of 75 years old they live longer than their peers in other countries. >> jacqueline: we are pi bracing for a cold night. a lot of 40's right now and a lot colder with 20s and 30s, overnight. 47 and santa rosa. and redwood city and 49 degrees in san jose. let us take a look at
